He cited the work of the senate to assure responsible behavior on the part of the faculty. Related to this was a proposed policy on fitness to work. He also referred to the problems of faculty size, noting the reduction in the number of faculty over the last few years, and the need for better salaries for faculty.

Professor Riley reported that that is being discussed in the senate and that he hoped it would be approved during the current academic year.
